Question

The nursing instructor is reviewing the renal system and urinary catheterization with her students. Which statement, if made by a nursing student, indicates that further instruction is needed?

A. "The urinary tract is considered to be sterile."
B. "The nurse may use clean technique to insert an indwelling catheter.
C. "The urge to void is felt when the bladder contains 150 to 200 mL in an adult."
D. "The minimum average hourly urine output is 30 mL."

Answer 1

The incorrect statement is regarding the use of clean technique for urinary catheterization; a sterile technique is required. Other statements about the bladder's urge to void and minimum urine output are correct.The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement by the nursing student that indicates further instruction is needed is: "The nurse may use clean technique to insert an indwelling catheter." When inserting an indwelling urinary catheter, a sterile technique is required to prevent infection.

The urinary tract should indeed be sterile, and no bacteria should be present. As for the statement that "The urge to void is felt when the bladder contains 150 to 200 mL in an adult," this reflects the initial awareness of the need to urinate, while complete bladder incontinence may occur when the volume approaches 300 to 400 mL.

The statement concerning the minimum average hourly urine output being 30 mL is correct, as this is a standard measure of renal function.The correct answer is option A.
